As it turns out, they were really good and I'll definitely try them again. :)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448886852257091786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104840882214526893.post-5598877136678912722013-04-08T13:33:56.394-05:002013-04-08T13:33:56.394-05:00Good on you for doing those extra miles, so easy t...Good on you for doing those extra miles, so easy to not do them! The trail sounds really neat and so does the event, I like the feel of smaller events too.<br /><br />We used to have oranges at half time during hockey when I played (it's field hockey where I live, not ice hockey!) and they were great. I forgot all about them until you mentioned, so must add them to my long run fuel list!Sheryllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17460472835794108787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104840882214526893.post-11303848416896596512013-04-07T20:18:53.287-05:002013-04-07T20:18:53.287-05:00Thanks!

With so much time to kill I knew I would either get antsy or just plain tired waiting for my race start. Plus, I wasn't sure how fast my marathoning friends would be. I hated the idea of them finishing and then waiting for me. (As it turns out, I would have been fine time-wise.) If I had it to do again I probably would have raced first and then seen how I felt, but all in all I am not unhappy woth how things went. :-)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448886852257091786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104840882214526893.post-22224317159590816842013-04-07T16:54:36.318-05:002013-04-07T16:54:36.318-05:00Good job Shannon with sticking to your training pr...Good job Shannon with sticking to your training program and adding on the extra miles. What made you decide to tack on the extra miles before the race instead of after?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386715484919770176noreply@blogger.com
